When you choose to buy Black, you’re investing in more than a product or service—you’re investing in the future of your community. Economic empowerment starts with intentional spending, and every dollar circulated within Black-owned businesses strengthens the foundation for generational wealth and sustainable growth.

The Power of the Black Dollar

The Black community’s collective buying power is estimated at over $1.6 trillion. Yet, studies show that the Black dollar circulates within the community for less than a day, compared to weeks in other communities. By consciously supporting Black-owned businesses, we can change this narrative, keeping wealth circulating longer and fueling job creation, innovation, and local investment.

The Role of Black Pages International

Black Pages International has been a catalyst for economic empowerment since 1988. Our comprehensive directory connects consumers directly to Black-owned businesses, making it easier than ever to buy Black, whether you’re looking for a local restaurant, a professional service, or an online retailer.

We don’t just list businesses—we tell their stories, highlight their achievements, and provide resources to help them grow. Through our print and online directories, community events, and educational content, Black Pages International amplifies the impact of every dollar spent within the Black community.
